@Alex6'0 ive got guessed as anywhere 6'2-6'5. Idk how, those guys look pretty big compared to me. Some days i see a fair amount of those guys, they must be seen as really tall to the average person due to inflation. Also depends on proportions maybe?, I'm pretty slim so could pass as 6'1-6'2(shoe height)

I'm 179-180 cm and sometimes get called tall due to my skinny/lanky frame and small head that gives me the illusion of being taller, i would say this can happen once someone hits like 177-178 cm

Have you ever considered using different units, Rob? I noticed on the Marvel Database that characters who are under 1 meter use centimeters while characters over 1 meter use meters. You think that's something you'd implement into this site sometime?

Editor RobNot really considered that. I'm happy keeping it to the style 5ft 6 (168cm) rather than 1.68m.

Pure lunacy, when several sources list the average as 5'11.5? Since you have such a strong opinion about it, I assume you live here or have been here often?

Funny enough, I knew a kid in 6th grade who was 5’6 and towered everybody in the classroom. Now he’s 16 and only like 5’7-5’8, some people are just really early bloomers.

@Wtent:
Like everyone else said, basically zero chance it was actually growth. People can grow in their early 20s (I certainly did), but after 25 is extremely rare. I’d chalk it up to a mismeasurement or rather just a “good day”. We all have good days where we measure taller even in the evening after physical activity. We just don’t shrink as much for some reason. The next day, the illusion of growth will be unfortunately shattered.

I saw a super tall guy Stephen merchant type physicality on campus who was a head and shoulders taller than the crowd. My head was probably couple of inches below his shoulder level, any estimate on how tall he might be?

I don't remember any woman doing squats with 80kg+, however I imagine that it's not every week that they do it in this weight range, at least there is one day of the week that I do it with much more weight than usual but it would be unfeasible always keep this type of training because it is very exhausting and my body would have injuries.

@Bislimi
Also, sometimes you just don't feel that tall and confuse that with feeling "kind of short", if the average is 5'10 for young people I wouldn't feel tall at 5'11 3/8 but I don't would feel short too.
The average for young people where I live, in my opinion (I need to make it clear that there is no formal research on this, it's an opinion) I imagine it to be around 5ft 9 (175-176cm), and I've been to a few parties and barely I felt above average, but it was an isolated anecdotal event as elsewhere I felt quietly above average..

@Bislimi
Depending on the country, what you said makes sense, if the average of young people is 5'11 - 6'0 maybe it gives that impression.
Now if the average is 5'9-5'10 then I don't see much sense, unless your friends/colleagues coincidentally are taller than you (then it would be a confirmation bias, I would try to understand more about average height searches of the population).

5'5-5'7 have delicious heights.
5'8 is a good height but not too good like the other ones, so is 5'4.
5'9-5'10 is pretty descent and fine, if a woman is over the 5'10 mark is going to look too tall in my opinion, about into the amazon range

@James B 172cm
Yes, But it all depends on genetics, I can be 5'8 and great genetics, or 5'11 and bad genetics.
I could name some bodybuilders (Men's Physique) in the 5'8 range who have amazing bodies but I don't know if they are a good parameter as they are not natural, in my own gym there are guys 5'8-5'9 who have guys with a nice shape.
I would trade 5'11 to be 5'9 with Frank Zane's physique xD
I think that regardless of height, everyone should go to the gym, from the 5'3 or 6'3 guy, I at least find it therapeutic to have it as a hobby, I like to study the biomechanics of exercises, read about nutrition (all with professional follow-up ).

Hi Rob do you know your nearly late 40s time has flown by time faster than your youtube subscribers, It is not just about your hair getting more greyer. I wonder if your beard will get longer thicker, and greyer, and will you still be 5ft 8in, and will stick to the 5 pound weight it's been ages since you weighed yourself i can't believe your nearly late 40s i can remember when you nearly late 30s seems like yesterday you had less grey in your hair back than.

Editor RobYeah I was making a video today and when editing it, noticed more grey. Don't plan on having a big beard again, just trim it back to 3mm every week or two.
Remember activity, genetics, diet can all effect height. I think the 50's is a test for our bodies. If you slow down, reduce activity/stretching, you might find you begin to lose height.
I've found the more I'm doing in life, the slower time appears to go.
And priorities change. In 2019 a lot of my time was spent doing websites, youtube and attending cons.
These days I'm doing online work, being a carer to parents and with Jenny we're looking after a toddler in our house half the week.

@ James B 172cm Probably not,but it depends on the proportions really. Generally speaking,taller usually looks better,even if it's skinny. Don't worry about it too much, you can't change your height anyway.
@ adrianposter It's all in your head. Basically it should be the other way around because the taller someone is over 5'11,the larger he looks generally.

@gian181cm That’s quite impressive too, there are certainly girls lifting quite heavy on lower body exercises! Do they also do deadlifts/squats with barbell?
120kg for 1 rep and 90kg for like 10 was quite a lot for deadlifts I thought! Although I haven’t done them in quite a while, so not quite sure what is heavy days haha!

180-181/5'11 is a height that you'll get comments that you're tall even if you're not (statistically speaking), because you end up being tall-ish or solidly above average in the US/UK.
Now 182-185cm is definitely seen as tall by pretty much most people.
@Sam83
At my gym there are women weighing 60-65 kg who do leg presses with 140-160 kg.
They are proportionally muscular, although they do not have much strength in upper limb training.

I walked 2 miles today and got home at 9pm (woke up at 11am). Measured myself straight away on my seca stadio and to my surprise I managed to get 184.8cm! This is more of an extreme low. I usually get 184cm flat after walking 2 miles - I didn’t even get a good sleep! Weird… my normal low is usually 184.8cm and extreme low is usually 184 flat. Hmmmmm, could be growth? I’m 25 btw. I want my extreme low to hopefully rise up to 186cm and have a normal low of 186.8. Hopefully I can do it before I turn 26.

@Crypto139 yeah Ive heard that before too, its just that 204 cm/6'8 is very far from average. Strong 6'1 is 3-4 inches above average so enough to be tall, just doesnt really standout much so I could see how it is not tall to the upper 6 ft range guys.
@Rick84q my eye level seems to be 13 cm or a bit over which is weird, maybe im measuring off by a bit though.

There was a girl who did a deadlift 1 rep max of 120kg and was doing around 10 reps at 90kg which I thought was impressive?! She was round 5’7 and athletic build, I thought that was a lot of weight to use!
Anyone else think more people are weight training/getting strong?!

Hi Rob do 5ft 11in men realize how tall they look men in the 5ft 11in range have the tall man look about them, It doesn't matter what build they are what footwear they wear, and what clothes 5ft 11in men always taller they really like 1 inch sometimes 2 inches taller. Brad Pitt comes into mind he always looks taller than he really his with,and without shoe lifts men in the 5ft 11in range make men like 5ft 9in, and under look shortish, and short.

Well, as I've said before, stop acting cringey or just leave the site. You act exactly like I did when I was 17 and very immature. If you want to be insecure about 6'1.75, that's totally fine, but don't go around and say how society puts too much value on height or how it's totally fine to be short. It's extremely irritating when the person who says it doesn't lead by example.

At 5'11 i start feeling "towered" when someone is roughly 6'3. It's a big enough difference but not outstanding like 195+ makes me feel.

Isn’t it weird that I sometimes see 5’8-5’9 guys that look tallish due to their skinny/lanky proportions, but also sometimes see 6’1 guys who look short due to stocky proportions.
No, that’s not weird at all. At 6’6, I’ve seen 6’2-3 guys who I thought were my height or taller, at least from a distance. I’ve also seen 6’7-8 guys who I thought were more like 6’4, until I got closer. Lanky proportions make a huge difference.

6’4 minus 4.75 inches, so roughly 5’11.25 or 181cm. 182cm would be the average eye level for a 194cm/6’4 3/8” guy.

@Rob, Thanks for replying! So would that mean that most men (~90%) who are 6’2-6’4 have eye levels in the range 11.7-12.3 cm? In your experience, the men who you met that are this height range, did most of them seem to have eye levels at least 12 cm or slightly greater? Just wanted to ask out of curiosity and lack of expertise. Much appreciated!

Valerie attended a Birthday Party of a very young Prince Harry, where she met Princess Diana. Harry wanted to see her dogs and Diana was all for it!
Valerie thinks that Harry had a raw deal being cast out of the Royal Family.

BMI isn't that bad for short to average women around 5'0"-5'4", but the low end of the "normal" range gets worse the taller you are especially for men.
For example, these are considered low end "normal" weights by BMI (18.5):
5'6" : 115 lb
5'8" : 122 lb
5'10" : 129 lb
6'0" : 137 lb
6'2" : 144 lb
6'4" : 152 lb
6'6" : 160 lb
The numbers become laughable as you go up. I can't imagine a 6'6" guy weighing 160.

I gave the tall starting pole at 182 cm/5'11.5, not 181 cm.
According to the height percentile calculator, 5'11 3/8 is the 80th percentile in the US, which is considerable, 5'11 3/8 gets at least the upper limit of the average.
The average I feel for young people in my area is 5'9, I definitely don't stand out and feel at least in the 80th percentile, although considering 182-183 cm as the start of tall height I would say I feel tall-ish, my height range on the day it is 5'11 5/9 to 5'11 1/8.
If you consider the 90th percentile for the US (and I think for the UK), the starting height is 184cm/6'0.5.
Now, if you want to consider the 90th percentile with an average of 5'10, that would be 185 cm, or if you want to consider 1 SD, that would be 186 cm.
But overall your idea of 6'0 is good and solid, probably 183cm is tall-ish with an average of 5'10 and tall with an average of 5'9 in my opinion.

@ 179cm A legit 177cm can even look tallish with the right proportions and to a certain amount of people(those under 1.70). Most people that height round up to 1.80 anyway or even 1.79 sometimes to make it sound 'honest'.

@Jdubbz- my autocorrect screwed up my question, I meant to say if the 6’ guy head goes up to a taller guys chin and mouth area what would be the difference, there is an old friend I’m trying to guess his height and that was the way the mirror reflected when we spoke

@Rockaway:
6'0 is more than "above average", but whether it is tall or tallish is debatable. Also, diminishing returns kick in way after 6'2, like 6'4+. If you don't want to be taller than 6'2 I understand, but there are very few downsides at 6'2-4.

Punctuation has zero to do with grammar. Punctuation can be utilized to help establish clarity in sentences, but it can also be used to place emphasis on different aspects of a complete thought.
Grammarly is a tool, that's all it is. If your writing is terrible, then it won't be a helpful tool for you. The software may lend suggestions and display punctuation errors, but the tool will not transform you into a dynamic writer.
If you do not have this quality embedded in you, then all Grammarly will do is ensure that what you wrote actually makes sense to whoever is reading it.
So, no, I am not beating around the bush. You just lack adequate comprehension of the English language, and I was correcting your erroneous judgment of why I sometimes use Grammarly. It is no different than autocorrect on one's mobile device.
Does autocorrect improve your writing? No, it's just f-king convenient.
PS: If you are going to respond with another banal statement, I will simply choose not to respond.

The thing about being 6’0” is if I wear boots or something like an air max I feel taller than about 85-90% of people I come across. Which is why I have a hard time just labeling 6’0 as above average. It’s the start of tall IMO but there have been a handful of situations I’ve been in over the years around mostly 6’3 and taller guys where I’ve felt average/short. That said, I still personally wouldn’t want to be taller than 6’2” as I believe diminishing returns of benefits start after that.

Ok, I stand corrected then. I was just going by what you said in your original post, so if you do include ranges in your chart then that's good. Still, I'm not sure what makes the method I mentioned more complicated. It's not even my method. It's just BMI with a scaling coefficient of 2.5 instead of 2 to better account for height. There are websites that use that exact formula and call it "better BMI for tall and short people" or something similar. It's just an improved version of BMI.

Ya, a lot of 6'5 range guys claim 6'6. The average person definitely can't tell the difference, but it's obviously pretty noticeable for me. There is a huge drop off between 6'5 and 6'6, so a legit 6'6 is much rarer.

Kind of off topic but since we're talking about BMI it is kind of sad to see our society's decline in health. I feel like I'm seeing a lot more genuinely out of shape or obese people these days and know several people who have just casually gained a lot of weight over the years, especially after the lockdowns. I'm going to college right now and it's almost breathtaking to see so many people in their late teens and twenties already obese or putting on a lot of weight over a semester. I know BMI is kind of a shaky tool, but most of these overweight/obese BMI aren't there for the same reason Big Alex is.

If you don't know, my younger! 6'5" brother is reached his height last year (2021)... This means my height-interest began 4-5yrs earlier.
So when i came here, I've been obssesed with real celeb heights, not with mine.
If i was unhappy with my height then I'm gonna claim 6'3" or my morning (6'2.5"), but what do you see ? I don't do it. Never didn't.

Unpopular opinion but 5'9.5-5'10 is literally just perfect height range. You're solid average which means your height is never a big part of your identity, so it's near impossible that you'll get "wow you're tall" or "wow you're short" remarks
That's a valid opinion. I will note that a legit 5'9.5-5'10" (measured barefoot in the evening) is nothing to complain about and probably at least an inch taller than a lot of people think it is. A lot of people probably think that I'm about 6 feet tall (when to be honest I'm only 179cm), which leads them to think that 6 feet is average range and 5'10" is shortish or something.

@Bobby: That's very interesting, and I'm sure that some people will learn new things when they read your post. I think that the rats carried fleas that carried the plague in China, and, as you wrote, the diseased rats came aboard ships bound for Europe. I wonder if those rats traveled from Wuhan to Venice. You and others will get what I mean by that.
The "dwarf ancestors" myth still is popular. People don't realize that there were height fluctuations over millennia. I read that men and maybe women were taller than modern people in some places during the Dark Ages. Deprivations, after that, greatly decreased height averages, and they started to rebound at some point after World War II.
The Industrial Revolution brought forth a lot of economic and social deprivations, especially in urban England. There were world record setting height disparities. For instance, the richest teens were close to modern teens while the poorest teens were close to modern sixth graders as far as size is concerned! Rural Americans, at the time, were the tallest demographic.
I think that your five-inch gap sounds reasonable. Of course, it varies by place and time. FE, Dutch women are taller than Indonesian men, both of whom are normal height for their countries. At one time in the 1600s, the Dutch were the SHORTEST population in Europe.

Honestly, i always judging heights on a flat floor or flat streets. This is my rule. Because it depends on 2-5inches.
What's about you ?! Are good in guessing heights or how you doing it ? Eye level etc.
Did you know, if someone's 5-6cms over your eye level, he's still noticeable shorter than you.!?
Let's say the avg girl isn't 6'4 or 6'0 or 5'7".
If you seen this 6'4" very tall/giant girl then it's like 6'9 or even 6'10" man. These are unseen and unbelievable heights. Statistical misfits and rare.
P.S. My noon is like 187.4-5cms, evening is 187-187.1cms. Maybe after sports it's like 186.9.

@Jdubbz: You're mistaken. My chart is much better. I DO include weight ranges based on body frames, and I add or subtract five to fifteen pounds based on larger frames or smaller frames. That means that a 5'0 woman, with a small frame, could have a healthy weight of 90 pounds.
You're making things more complicated than they need to be. I make things more accurate and more understandable for regular individuals who don't need or want unnecessary formulas. My chart is easy to follow. It's not perfect, but your method isn't, either.

According to the statistics, 6'0/183cm is the start of tall.For example only 14% of American men are 6'0 and taller.
At 6'0 you are taller than 88 percent of the global population.
Let's look at the numbers.

2. India 🇮🇳: The average height of an Indian man is 5'8.5/174cm or 5'5/165cm depending on the study.Population:1,380,000,000
3. United States of America 🇺🇸: The average height of a European American is 5'10/178cm, an African-American is 5'9.5/176cm, an Asian American is 5'8/172cm and finally a Hispanic American is 5'7.5/171cm.Population:331,000,000

Imagine 6'0 is taller than at least 4.7 billion people

Objectively speaking a man who's at least 6'0 feet tall and weighs over 90kgs/200lbs(i.e. isn't rail-thin), is a BIG MAN.
At 6'0 tall you are taller than 88% of the human population...Imagine a room of a hundred people and only 12 are taller than you.
Rail thin for 6'0 would be under 150 lbs. 200 lbs is very much on the larger side for that height. Also, your numbers don't make sense when applied to most Western countries (where most people who post on CH live). 6'0 is on the taller side of average, but it's generally closer to 80th percentile than 88th. Looking at younger men, it's more like 75th percentile.
Also, there is a huge difference between being 2-3" taller than average (which 6'0 is) and towering over them. I would agree with the poster who said that 6'4 is the start of towering height. 6'0 is above average to tall (depending on your location and opinion), but not a towering height unless you're only around short guys and women.
According to the statistics, 6'0/183cm is the start of tall.For example only 14% of American men are 6'0 and taller.
At 6'0 you are taller than 88 percent of the global population.
Let's look at the numbers.

I think it's a good rule to establish that women are, on average, five inches shorter than men. Speaking of historical heights, I have it on good authority that the height of European men in the Middle Ages was 5'8.25. I once compiled some research into the topic when I was more captivated by human height. Separately, the book, Men of Bronze, talks about the height of Ancient Greek men by citing the measurement of skeletons. It was discovered that the tallest member of Greek society could have been 5'9.
However, a figure of 5'6 was more common for Greek males. I argue that men who grew to 5'9 were most likely conscripted into the army as soldiers were taller than the average man in those days. When the second wave of the Bubonic plague ravaged Europe in 1348 A.D., it negatively impacted the heights of succeeding generations. This is because the plague, in its aftermath, caused famine and poverty. The Bubonic plague is estimated by scholars to have killed 2/3rds of Europe or around 75% of the continent's population. This massive loss in demographics did not recover until the mid to late 19th century. It was around this time that the average height began to increase since the emergence of capitalism was able to usher in a higher standard of living.
The Bubonic plague travelled along the Silk Roads, which was a major trade route between Europe and Asia. The disease itself came from rats in China, which had come aboard merchant vessels bound for Europe. The earliest reports I could find were traced to the Venetian port, which makes sense to me because Venice was a major commercial hub for Europe.
Anyway, just a bit of trivia for you. Hopefully, this proves educational for other visitors. You would be astonished by what people do not know, Poster.

I don't use Grammarly to improve my writing. I have it active to help me locate errors in my punctuation because most of the mistakes I make are with commas. My grammar itself is good, not perfect but good, so your statement is erroneous.
Grammar, by the way, is about how sentences are structured. Grammar will determine the coherency and legibility of what you write. If what you write does not make sense, it means your grammar is terrible.
Here is what the Merriam-Webster dictionary has to say about grammar:
"the study of the classes of words, their inflections (see inflection sense 2), and their functions and relations in the sentence." The Cambridge Dictionary also defines it as, "(the study or use of) the rules about how words change their form and combine with other words to make sentences."
What is a sentence? A sentence is a string of words that form together to produce meaning or message and serves the purpose of communication. Since a sentence is meant to communicate one's thoughts, it ought to be sensible. Do we agree on this?
I might talk about syntax next, but I worry I have already lost you.
TLDR: I don't use Grammarly to improve my writing, I use Grammarly to help with my punctuation.
PS: What is punctuation? Let's consult the Cambridge Dictionary again: "(the use of) special symbols that you add to writing to separate phrases and sentences to show that something is a question, etc." The Merriam-Webster dictionary also defines punctuation as, " the act or practice of inserting standardized marks or signs in written matter to clarify the meaning and separate structural units."
Okay, here's your English language lesson for the day. The next time you call my writing into question, be certain that you understand how sentences are written. My sentences happen to be written well.

Editor RobOh, grammar! The bane of every writer's existence! It's always there, lurking in the shadows, waiting to catch us in a moment of weakness and ruin our credibility forever.
But fear not, dear writer! For I am here to save the day with my sage advice on the proper use of grammar.
First and foremost, remember to always use proper capitalization. After all, nothing says "I don't know what I'm talking about" quite like starting every sentence with a lowercase letter.
Next, pay close attention to your punctuation. A misplaced comma can completely change the meaning of a sentence, so be sure to use them sparingly and with great caution. And don't even get me started on the elusive semicolon. It's like a ninja of the punctuation world, sneaking up on you when you least expect it and causing all sorts of confusion.
Finally, don't forget about those pesky homophones. "Their," "there," and "they're" may all sound the same, but they each have their own distinct meaning. Mixing them up will surely lead to chaos and misunderstanding.
So there you have it, folks! Follow these simple rules, and you'll be well on your way to becoming a grammar guru. Happy writing!

@5’7 and a fractiom
Just measured myself at 5'7 1/2. Was starting to think I wasn't gonna grow any taller after having a growth spur 2 years ago (which isn't terrible, but still). But after not measuring myself for a few months I may have a chance at getting your height or taller. Is it possible I could get to 5'8 by the end of this year?
Don’t mean to be a debby downer, but if you haven’t grown a fraction in two years and then suddenly measure yourself a fraction higher the measurement was probably an error or you measured yourself at an earlier time of day

I'm obese at 6'0 240 though a good amount is muscle. Those bmi charts are very outdated and aren't accurate for some people
I weigh 240 as well. I'm not as muscular as you are, but BMI considers 240 to be right between overweight and obese even at 6'6. It's ridiculous isn't it? In your case BMI is off due to muscle mass, in my case it's due to height.
I would only hit the very upper end of "normal" range at 218lbs, but in reality it's closer to 230. A BMI in the middle of the healthy range (22.5) would be 196lbs for my height and 166lbs for yours. I can't even imagine being under 200 with my height and frame.

Giga calculator is a bit on the overly generous side compared to other height calculators I've seen. It puts my height at the 99.97th percentile, which is really inflated. Strong 6'6 is of course very tall, perhaps approaching 99.9th (maybe something like 1/750), but 1/3333? Nah, that's more like strong 6'7 or weak 6'8 range, which is a proper "extremely tall" height. Maybe giga is more accurate for heights closer to the mean.
I agree that 90th percentile is the start of legit tall, but the calculator I use says that's a tiny fraction over 6'1. 6'1 is what I would personally consider the start of tall, but some may argue 1SD above average (Just under 184cm) is better. The tall life calculator assumes a 5'9.3 overall average, which I think is just about right for the US.
I will classify the heights you listed rather than the percentiles, since the percentiles differ between giga calculator and the one I use. I agree that 5'10.5 is the start of above average, and that range extends to 5'11.25. The only thing is that I would start the tallish range immediately after that, so it would include your height as well. 5'11 3/8" is definitely tallish, but so is 5'11.75 (IMO). I would put them in the same category.
This is a bit controversial, but I would include any height in the strong 5'11 range up to weak 6'1 in the tallish category. So 5'11.25 - 6'0.5. 6'0.5 - 6'1 is a buffer zone and I would lean towards the lower end being tallish and the upper end being legit tall.
My actual benchmark for tall is whether they are around my eye level (187cm), but that's just a convenience thing. 185-186cm guys are also "around" my eye level and their hair would bring them to my eye level, so I consider that tall. Weak 6'1 or under doesn't strike me as tall, but of course I am biased due to my own height.

@Jdubbz
Using a height percentile calculator I saw that the 90% percentile in the USA is 184cm - 6'0.5, do you agree with that height being the beginning of tall height?
And how would you classify the 80th percentile (5'11 3/8 - 181.3cm) and the 85th percentile (5'11.75 - 182.5cm) ?
Following what you said I would classify it like this:
5'9 3/4 - 5'10 1/4 - Upper Average
5'10 1/2 - 5'11 1/4 - Above average
5'11 1/2 - 6'0 1/4 - Tall-ish
5'11 3/8 is the 80th percentile, I don't know if it deserves the tall-ish placement or if I'd go with the 85th percentile 5'11 3/4, it's an arbitrary choice anyway.
The average considered was 5'9/175.3cm, of course for young people or if you consider a certain ethnicity it will be different.
I consider 182cm/5'11.5 to be the start of tall height (average 5'9), but that's my opinion.
In general, I found his methodology well grounded and interesting.

@Italianguy I guess it could be seen as a bit outstanding as generally its about 11-12 cm above average. Though its very much a regular tall height. For young guys at least I think 188+ is definitely solid tall, and 186-187 just below it as pretty regular tall.

I see as many 6'0 women as 6'5 guys in Denmark, but the average ratio between men and women here is also only 1.07.
Those heights are around 2 SD from average for both genders.
+6'1 women and +6'6 men is where it starts to be rare here.

@Bobby: I'm more into the heights of girls and women, but almost no people post about that, which is fine because they're more into guys' heights. I also like to learn average heights at various times in history. Averages by country are interesting too (it's very hard to find state averages). Subjects, like morning height, don't do it for me. Stuff like that gets dull and repetitive. To each their own. Unfortunately, some of the best commenters left. I hope they return.

@Alex 6'0:
Pretty much, yeah. I don't think it's an entire 6" difference, more like 5.75", but definitely closer to 6'6 than 6'5.
@Peter 180cm
Yes BMI is inaccurate for people at the extremes of height, but you shouldn't run into any issues at 180cm as that is still more or less average height. Perhaps you have more muscle mass than most guys your height.

Your method (100lbs for 5'0 and adding 5 lbs per inch) isn't doing anything that the charts aren't. In fact, it's even more inaccurate for tall people and doesn't take into account muscle mass either. At least the charts provide a healthy "range".
Any method that assumes a fixed relationship between height and weight and doesn't provide a range to accommodate various frame sizes and muscle mass is flawed. What you propose is simpler than an adjusted BMI, and may work for you, but it is in no way better. Especially for tall people.
Going with your method, 191 lbs would be my optimal weight. Even BMI gives me 218 lbs as a cutoff for healthy weight (which is itself a 10-20lb underestimation). 191 lbs is silly.

5'7 and a fraction said on 4/Jan/23
@Rob
Just measured myself at 5'7 1/2. Was starting to think I wasn't gonna grow any taller after having a growth spur 2 years ago (which isn't terrible, but still). But after not measuring myself for a few months I may have a chance at getting your height or taller. Is it possible I could get to 5'8 by the end of this year?

Editor RobIf you put on a fraction then it's always possible it's a last little growth phase, so I would leave it another 3 months and check again.

@Jdubbz: I don't fully agree with that. My method is better. It's more accurate and more realistic. I explained why. The weights are too high for short women and too low for tall women. Many women have muscle weight too. Muscle weighs more than flab. I know some fat skinny short girls. Female athletes and female bodybuilders should weigh more than sedentary women at the same height. I also think that the charts are too complicated. My chart makes much more sense, and it's easy for people to follow. I'll stick with it.

Yeah BMI formulas are often crap at estimations. I'm now roughly 83kg and roughly 1.80 so that would make me look slightly overweight or just normal weight,but people often comment that I've lost weight and that i need to eat up lolz. I think the taller someone is,the more weight he/she can put on and still look normal or lean. It's just a matter of dimensions-it's easier to balance and even out weight on a taller body than on an average/shorter one.

A disturbing proportion of people tend to write poorly, but I am not one of them. I also don't fret over insignificant fractions such as quarters and half inches. I measure a quarter below 5'10 in the evening, but I always describe myself as a 5'10 guy.
I used to be much more captivated by human height, but I have lost interest now that I am older and wiser. I suppose I get along more with people ten years older than me than with people my age or younger. If nothing else, it does interest me to try and figure out how tall some of my favourite video game characters might be if they were real, but that's more of a head exercise than anything else.
I don't know what 2023 has in store for you or me, but I hope it will bring forth great opportunities and memories!

No, the average swedish man is totally way below 6ft. Since the average swedish man is "5'9.5-5'10", the average american or british man must be around 5'7-5'8 according to you? Or you know what? Swedish men are probably the same height or even shorter than americans.
And yes, swedish women are extremely petite of course and barely 5ft. Swedes must know better than anyone else how to properly measure themselves.

You know you’re either short or tall when people use your size as a talking point.
I had an incident in hospital on Friday, just before I left, in which the lady in the bed next to me, named Valerie, felt too ill to eat her dinner, so she asked me what my cats might like. I replied, “They love chicken.”
When the dinners arrived, Valerie duly gave me hers, together with a doggie bag, and I sat there with two dinners, hers having been emptied into the bag, and I was nibbling at the mixed veg. The orderly who had come in with the dinners returned, and saw me with two plates and stopped and stared, open-mouthed, for quite a few seconds. Valerie, who’s 84 and a touch under 5ft3, started laughing because ‘the sight of a person my size eating two dinners tickled her!’
The orderly was told about the arrangement that my cats should have Valerie’s chicken, and they darted on the bag and tore it open as soon as I arrived home! 😻

Weight and height charts like BMI (which I assume you’re referring to here) are accurate enough for average height people. Especially the average woman, who most certainly does not have enough muscle or a wide enough frame for a false positive overweight or obese BMI value. Where it completely breaks down is with people on the extremes of height. The creator of the BMI formula foolishly assumed that weight scales with height squared. As if humans are two dimensional and don’t grow in width and depth as they grow in height. An absolutely moronic assumption. It assumes tall people are more overweight than they really are, and short people are less overweight than they really are.

The problem with charts like these is you can't have overlap. 5'5 and 5'7 and 5'9 etc. are all in multiple categories. You need distinct boundaries.
Maybe 5'3 to 5'4.5 and 5'5 to 5'6.5, etc.
There is no perfect solution. The problem with what you propose is that you’re leaving out a ton of heights that are on the boundaries.

@Italianguy yeah I think 190-191 or right around 6'3 is occasionally very tall but more of a big regular tall height. It standouts most places but not enough to feel very tall a lot and tower more
Yeah I think you’re spot on. It’s occasionally very tall, but generally speaking it’s on the upper end of the regular tall range. Among the general population it can definitely stand out and sometimes be very tall, but for younger people (especially white and black men), 6’4 is a better start of very tall. Perhaps even 6’4-5. Whatever 99th percentile is for that demographic.
I used to categorize the various tall groups (tall, very tall, extremely tall, etc.) by standard deviations, but I think percentiles might be more intuitive. Tall = 90th percentile or 1/10 guys, very tall = 99th percentile or 1/100 guys, extremely tall = 99.9th percentile or 1/1000, super/outstanding tall = 99.99th percentile, etc. The only issue is that each inch becomes more and more rare as you get further from average, so a 1/100,000 and a 1/1,000,000 height may only be 1-2” apart.

@Meltdown
I agree completely. Among younger people, 6’1.75-2 isn’t even in the top few percentiles. It’s closer to 90th percentile than 97-99th. It’s a fantastic height, but nowhere near rare enough to be “outstanding tall”, whatever that even means. I agree that 6’6+ is a better benchmark for that. Maybe even 6’8+. I’m a fraction over 6’6 at my lowest, and I genuinely haven’t seen anyone taller than me since October. That’s not a common experience though, generally I can go 3 weeks to a month without that happening.

@adrianposter I'd say that saying anything above 180 cm flat is average in Sweden is crazy, but less than a strong 179 cm is also not probable. The tallest ones in the Scandinavian countries (and in the world) are Estonians and Finns easy, probably around 181cm average in height.

Hi Rob now it is 2023, I wonder if you will be 5ft 8in, and will your hair, and beard get anymore greyer it is a miracle your 5ft 8im what is your secret you haven't lost any height at 46 yet when will it happen will you ever lose height, and drop to 5ft 6.5in,I predict you will start to lose height at 90 if you ever live that long you seem to be anti height loss maybe you have some anti height lost formula.

Editor RobI notice more grey every year, in beard especially!
It's quite rare to reach say age 70 without any height loss, but those who manage that might have excellent genetics, bone health and have a lifestyle routine that helps.

@dreus23:
Also an unpopular opinion, but "blending in" is super overrated. I really don't understand what's so good about it. No one wants to blend in with the average level of: facial attractiveness, income, wealth, intelligence, social status, physical strength, health, etc. Standing out by being above the average of any of those traits is a highly desirable thing for almost anyone.
The same thing applies to tallness, which is another trait that is almost universally seen as desirable for males. Of course it's more complicated than that since you need to factor things like proportions into the equation, but generally speaking, being an above average or tall man is a very good thing. Just like being above average in any of the other traits I listed.
I also have to disagree with the notion that being shorter or taller than average height increases the likelihood of height becoming a part of one's identity. If anything, most of the people I've seen irl or on the internet who bring up height (be it mine or their own), are average height dudes. They're also the ones most likely to inflate their height by several inches. At the very least, they seem to think and talk about height a lot more often than the 6'2+ tall guys I have conversed with. Again, just my experience.

There is nothing "outstanding" about being 6'1.75" or 6'2". Sure you're in the top few percent of people at that height, but we all see hundreds, if not thousands of people every week or two.
The truly rare height for men is over 6'6". You can go out to a grocery store or a downtown area for an hour an actually NOT see someone at that height. But 6'2" is actually quite common enough, considering you are bound to see a few men at that height every day at least.

The problem with charts like these is you can't have overlap. 5'5 and 5'7 and 5'9 etc. are all in multiple categories. You need distinct boundaries.
Maybe 5'3 to 5'4.5 and 5'5 to 5'6.5, etc.

Unpopular opinion but 5'9.5-5'10 is literally just perfect height range. You're solid average which means your height is never a big part of your identity, so it's near impossible that you'll get "wow you're tall" or "wow you're short" remarks
If you want to be tall, I completely understand that, and I'd be lying if I said that I haven't fantasized about being like 6'2-6'3; I wouldn't be surprised if most men have done that atleast once. But I personally simply have no interest in being noticeably tall like so many guys have. I wouldn't complain if I suddenly grew to that range, but generally the best thing about being that height is being able to say that you are that height, since society is obsessed with categorization and labels
Personally, I just prefer to blend in as solid average appearance-wise, so that I'm able to focus on my personality and interests instead. You can obviously do that whether you're 5'5 or 6'3 as well, but it's easier if your height isn't the first thing people notice about you

Are you afraid of being called "not tall"?
I'm not afraid to be called "not tall", i been called tall by strong 6'5" guy this summer. For example.
Also i seen so much people and lotta guys who inflated their heights on 1-3inches in reality, no saying about websites, apps, Instagram and other "profiles".
A few years ago i been witness of crazy shocking situation (on my working place), when this guy still claimed he's 6'1" and i said ,"come on, go to the mirror". There's flat floor in the mall. He was around my eyebrows, so it's like good 8cms difference.
Honestly, i have too much crazy height-stories like these.

Hi rob since 5ft 8.75in is nearly 5ft 9in would that height be considered the transition zone from short to average height once men reach that height, They will get illusion of looking 5ft 10in barefoot if they have a medium build strong 5ft 9in men can is solid average height which is 5ft 10in but weak 5ft 9in men who are 5ft 8.75in can't pass for 5ft 10in guys who are a weak 5ft 9in 5ft 8.75in are losing the short look.

6’0 for a female is technically much more common than 6’7 is for a male. The equivalent height is something like 6’5.75 which is 2 or 3 times as common as 6’7.

Your height chart makes no sense. Why do you say that 5'7 is "normal" short, but then call it "shortish?" Why do you lump that in with 5'9 but then call it average height? Why do you refer to 5'11 as average height but then call it tallish? Why do you call 6'1 tallish but then call it normal tall? Finally, why do you say 6'3 is normal tall but then call it very tall?
I’m not 100% sure if this is what he intended, but I do the same thing in my height charts. For example, If I said 6’0 - 6’4 is tall and 6’4 - 6’7 is very tall, I’m not saying 6’4 is simultaneously tall and very tall. Rather, I mean that heights up to and not including 6’4 are in the tall range, while 6’4 itself and heights over 6’4 are very tall. I can see why it is confusing, but it’s easier to say 6’0 - 6’4 = tall and 6’4 - 6’7 = very tall than 6’0 - 6’3.99999999 = tall and 6’4 - 6’6.99999999 = very tall. Of course, 6’3.99999999 and 6’4 are, for all intents and purposes, identical. You just have to draw the line somewhere. That’s my logic, at least.

I think a strong 6 ft 3 will be considered very tall by 99% of the population, even guys like Chris Hemsworth and Sacha Baron Cohen on here at a flat 6'3 most people would call them very tall.. I think 6 ft 5 is the real cut off point between normal tall and unusually tall, 197cm would be the start of seriously tall, which you can also see be how many are 197cm on here compared to 6'3-6'4 range, much rarer. Guys like Wladimir and Howard Stern I'd start to classify as more unusual.

The whole chart makes no sense. You can't just define the same height in two categories. Like, is it logical to say that 5'11 is simultaneously average and tallish? Or that 5'9 is simultaneously shortish and average?
I recommend that you rethink your chart.
I think you lack context clues or rational thinking. Obviously I’m not gonna say “5’9-5’10.99999999” so I put two heights in one category as it would be difficult including every height any other way.

@Gian 181cm
Thank you for your kind words. I can see why anything in the 180 - 185cm range is desirable as it is above average to tall without any significant downsides. I also agree that many of the criteria that people use to determine whether a height is too tall or too short are overly generalizing in nature. Like you said, a typical example is that many people think that being above a certain height means you're too tall to put on a decent amount of muscle. While it is true that 5kg of muscle will almost always look less significant on a 195 cm man than on a 165cm or 175cm man, just due to the sheer difference in volume between the two, it's not like being above a certain height means you put on muscle at a slower rate. Plus, there are so many factors that affect the outcome such as hypertrophy genetics (as you mentioned), muscle insertions, limb length, frame size, workout intensity, diet, testosterone levels, etc. Plus, if a really tall guy were THAT determined to quickly put on some size, there are of course ways to assist with that process (don't want to get into specifics on this forum, but I assume you know what I'm talking about).
Wow, I'm surprised your height range is so broad. You sound like the kind of guy who can appreciate the benefits of a huge variety of heights, which is admirable. My range is much smaller. I wouldn't want to be shorter than 6'3 or taller than 6'8. Shorter than 6'3 because I've been 6'3+ since age 18, and have spent the entirety of my adult life above that height. Below 6'8, because while I do enjoy being tall, it has its limits and I wouldn't gain anything from being significantly over 200cm. I can see why you'd like to be 192cm. It's RIGHT on the line between tall and very tall, and height related issues are still somewhat minimal at that point. You clearly stand out (in a good way) without your height being one of your defining characteristics. I was that height for a while so I speak from experience. My country doesn't use the metric system so I preferred 6'4/193cm over 6'3.6/192cm, but it's not like there is a big difference between the two.

Thank you for your kind words. I can see why anything in the 180 - 185cm range is desirable as it is above average to tall without any significant downsides. I also agree that many of the criteria that people use to determine whether a height is too tall or too short are overly generalizing in nature. Like you said, a typical example is that many people think that being above a certain height means you're too tall to put on a decent amount of muscle. While it is true that 5kg of muscle will almost always look less significant on a 195 cm man than on a 165cm or 175cm man, just due to the sheer difference in volume between the two, it's not like being above a certain height means you put on muscle at a slower rate. Plus, there are so many factors that affect the outcome such as hypertrophy genetics (as you mentioned), muscle insertions, limb length, frame size, workout intensity, diet, testosterone levels, etc. Plus, if a really tall guy were THAT determined to quickly put on some size, there are of course ways to assist with that process (don't want to get into specifics on this forum, but I assume you know what I'm talking about).

Around guys 6'2-6'3 i dont feel much shorter. 6'4 plus thats when the difference becomes more substantial and nearer towering.

@Daniel Lee I'm a weak 5'11"/strong 5'10" (179.0-180.9 cm) and 170 pounds, I feel average weight for my height (have and athletic build, I'm slightly lean at 13% body fat).

3 inches of difference starts to feel short-ish but 4 inches definitely feels short.

Very well said. I agree that heights between 5’11 and 6’4 would all fall into that ideal height range. Although there is no perfect height, in my opinion the most universally appealing height for men (at least in western countries) would be somewhere in the 6’1 - 3 range. Let’s say 6’2 +/- half inch. I’m not going to be a hypocrite and say that’s THE ideal height, but I think it has the most benefits and fewest drawbacks, especially compared to heights under 6’0. At that height you’re legitimately tall, yet you don’t tower over everyone and absolutely dwarf most women. The height difference between me and a short woman looks comical, as if she could be my daughter. A lot of women also seem to be intimidated by really tall guys. At 6’1-3 you satisfy the “tall guy itch” that many women seem to have, yet you aren’t tall enough to intimidate the crap out of them. Not to mention the other benefits of being tall but not too tall. I wouldn’t trade my height for something in that range as I love being really tall, but objectively it’s a great place to be.

I believe you're 6'1, but I just find your anecdotes absurd. If anyone thinks you're 5'9, it's either because your posture is horrible or they're obviously trolling you.

My own height chart for young US/UK men (Let me know if you guys agree)
Under 5’3 = Extremely Short
5’3-5’5 = Very Short
5’5-5’7 = Normal Short
5’7-5’9 = Shortish
5’9-5’11 = Average
5’11-6’1 = Tallish
6’1-6’3 = Normal Tall
6’3-6’5 = Very Tall
Over 6’5 = Extremely Tall
I agree with everything up to normal tall/very tall. If 6’1 is the start of normal tall (which I agree with), I think 6’3 is too low of a bar for very tall. Also, extremely tall is more like 6’7/200cm+. 6’5 is definitely very tall in the US/UK, but it’s too common of a height to be considered extremely tall. It’s also less than 3SD from a 5’10 average. I wouldn’t even consider myself to be extremely tall (a mm or two under 199cm evening height) let alone a guy 1.25” shorter. 6’4 - 6’7 or 6’4 - 6’6.75 (200cm exactly) is the very tall range, IMO. Everything else you wrote is pretty much spot on.

Hi Rob i have mentioned this before on my Sims 3 game, I got one male sim who is 6ft 7in, and half Dutch, 6ft 7in is very tall for a Dutch man that height is a equivalent to 6ft 4in for men in the UK, and USA, 6ft 7in is much common height in Holland than it in than is in The UK,and USA since the average male height is 6ft 0in his wife is 5ft 7in full blooded Native American of Powhatan, and Cherokee ancestry the oldest daughter who is the shortest is going to be 5ft 8in as Young Adult the middle daughter is going to be 5ft 10in as a Young Adult, and the yougest daughter is going to be 6ft 0in as a Young Adult, Is it possible for a 5ft 7in woman, and a 6ft 7in man to have a daughter is going to be 6ft 0in as a Young Adult 6ft 0in is still a rare height for women.

That doesn't make C-Mo any less annoying, especially when he's going to keep talking about the same crap all the time.
Just imagine that I tell you something incredibly funny, and you laugh. Then I proceed to tell you the same joke every single day. It might draw an amused chuckle out of you each time, but eventually, you're going to get annoyed because you'll experience the law of diminishing returns. The law of diminishing returns posits that something that once induced significant results gradually loses its potency if continuously experienced. This is why the hypothetical joke I tell you will lose its potency because I repeated it so many times. That's why trends don't last forever. The law of diminishing returns is also related to desensitization, which is why horror movie fans find that watching the same scary movies all the time, no longer induces the same fear in them.
That's C-Mo and his persistent f-ing, "I think 180 cm is the ideal male height, now here's my dissertation on male proportions." Jesus age Christ, WE KNOW, so DROP IT. This is the last time I'm going to justify why I think he's irritating, so I hope you understand my reasoning now.
TLDR: C-Mo's comments are stale and unoriginal.

@adrianposter
Your height chart makes no sense. Why do you say that 5'7 is "normal" short, but then call it "shortish?" Why do you lump that in with 5'9 but then call it average height? Why do you refer to 5'11 as average height but then call it tallish? Why do you call 6'1 tallish but then call it normal tall? Finally, why do you say 6'3 is normal tall but then call it very tall?
The whole chart makes no sense. You can't just define the same height in two categories. Like, is it logical to say that 5'11 is simultaneously average and tallish? Or that 5'9 is simultaneously shortish and average?
I recommend that you rethink your chart.
